Comment by vips7L 1 day ago Isn’t python still the slowest mainstream language? 5 comments vips7L Reply Etheryte 1 day ago Being slower than other mainstream languages isn't really a problem in and of itself if it's fast enough to get the job done. Looking at all the ML and LLM work that's done in Python, I would say it is fast enough to get things done. NetMageSCW 1 day ago As pointed out already, most of that uses C code or GPU code to do the work and not slow Python code. cestith 8 hours ago A pretty good portion uses Fortran code, too. chungy 1 day ago No. Ruby exists. dragonwriter 1 day ago Ruby is now faster than Python, last I saw a comparison, though it used to be the other way around.
